Hmm, right. We've been talking about various ways to do it. If there
was enough interest, we'd probably hire someone to develop that
server full-time, and branch it from the Achaea code. That's what we
did with Aetolia, and it's worked well.

Syncing together major projects like a new area or whatnot shouldn't
really have to involve volunteers implementing them on both servers
though. I'd think it'd be a not-too-massive task to write all the
relevant information to file and read it in on the other server.
